2009 Brooklyn Summer Concert Series

UPDATE: Schedule updated on July 1, 2009.

It’s a couple days late (according to their own schedule), but here’s the initial lineup for the annual “Brooklyn Summer Concert Series” held on Monday nights at Wingate Field and Thursday nights at Asser Levy Park respectively. Nothing really earth shattering here, I’d bet on Blondie being the biggest draw of the season, (but I could also be completely wrong about that).
